Still looking for a part time job? Are you still looking for that "perfect job" or maybe you found one but don't know how to apply or take the next step.
Step1. Decide on the type of job you want or need- consider the type of job, the location, the hours, and the pay. Remember that not all part time jobs are glamorous, but hey...they pay the bills, teach you transferrable skills (time management, customer service, etc.) and keep you looking forward to graduating and landing your dream job! :)
Step 2. Complete a self-analysis. What are you good at? (keep it professional) What skills do you have? What do you have to offer? And remember, employers don't care that you can play video games for 24hrs straight or drink two cases of...Mountain Dew (or your preferred choice of beverage) in one night. It's just not relevant in the job world. I recommend SIGI. It's an awesome program that helps you identify what you're good as well as strengths/weakness. The link is located on our website so check it out!!!!
Step 3. Create a resume. Resumes can be scary and confusing but it is always good to have one on hand! Need help with your resume?? WE CAN HELP!!! Stop in (Heston Hall 204) and we'll get you started!!
Step 4. Okay, you've found the job you want to apply for. Take all the appropriate application materials (this usually includes a general application, company application or resume-depending on the employer). Our office has applications for all the business in the Madison area as well as the General 510 Job Application. Stop in to grab whatever you need!When dropping off your application to the employer make sure to introduce yourself, shake the employer's hand, make eye contact and dress appropriately- sometimes employers like to interview applicants on the spot. Remember, first impressions are very important! I highly recommend not wearing your favorite pair of sweats and your ratty old baseball cap...and you should probably shower. (just a suggestion)
Step 5. You're done with that part. Now it's just waiting to hear back from the employer for an interview or to hear if you've received the position. If you haven't heard back from the employer for some time, don't be afraid to call and check on the status of the position you applied for. It shows that you are truly interested in the job.For a complete listing of open part time positions in the area visit our website at http://www.departments.dsu.edu/career/.
